huff noticed a maroon sedan parked in wilson's driveway. it matched the description of the drive-by car. >> mike huff says, hey, i want to talk to you about this shooting. what do you know? and michael is trying to hide a gun. huff sees the gun and takes the gun. ballistic tests showed that that was the gun that, you know, was used to kill karen summers. >> it seemed damning, but wilson told detectives he was hiding the gun for malcolm's friend, de'marchoe, and had given de'marchoe the bullets. wilson was arrested for holding the gun, but his story lined up with what police were hearing from two eyewitnesses -- malcolm and de'marchoe killed karen summers. these witnesses said that they saw malcolm and de'marchoe there. they saw the shooting. they identified them. >> suddenly malcolm was in almost the same situation his brother had been in three years before and telling a tulsa homicide detective exactly the same thing -- i'm innocent. >> i'm like, whoever is telling you this, they're obvious ly mistaken. i didn't have nothing to do with it.

what wilson is seeing? you've got the movies include et return of the jedi raiders of the lost ark beverly hills. cop breakfast club pretty in pink and some kind of wonderful. i know that most of these movies came out before you all were born. are you at all familiar with these series of movies? have you heard of them before? if you think about things like the breakfast club if you think about things like pretty in pink, i think his name is john hughes if i'm not mistaken, john hughes is making a whole genre and it's we talked about what ideology means in this room before ideology are those unspoken and sometimes less clear structures that influence the way people think about america the way women should behave the way men should behave what it means to be straight what it means to be gay what it means to be a whole lot of things. no one says it outright, but it's always it's it's unspoken underlying structures that inform the way we think about race and identity and class and gender. that makes sense good
